Mr and Mrs Meek are Meek by name and meek by nature. Unfortunately their only child Myrtle is not. She is a MONSTER! Whether she was just made this way, or her meek parents made it worse, Myrtle’s constant demands just grow and grow. Until the day she can’t think of something her parents haven’t already done or bought for her.

It hits her! She wants a FING. What on Earth is a Fing, her parents wonder. Both being librarians, they rush off to the library to find out.

Mr Meek, after much discussion, sets off to get one for his daughter. He encounters other strange creatures and sights on his travels, hoping that he will be able to complete his quest.

A cautionary tale for any demanding or other monster-like children, FING is wacky and full of funny footnotes which explain words or parts of the story. Chocka full of illustrations by Tony Ross, this team have have done it again. David Walliams wanted FING to make kids laugh – he definitely achieved his goal.
